Tyrique Stevenson has an inexcusable defense of Jayden Daniels' Hail Mary pass

Life comes at you fast in the NFL and Chicago Bears second-year cornerback Tyrique Stevenson learned that lesson the hard way during the team's Week 8 loss to the Washington Commanders.

Of course, everyone will be talking about Jayden Daniels and his Hail Mary touchdown pass that won the game for the Commanders. It goes without saying that there isn't a defined defense to have against a Hail Mary, but there were several concerning facts about the Bears' defensive setup on the final play of the game.

Naturally, fans were quick to point out that the Bears had timeouts left. Instead of hoping that the defense had enough time to get in proper setup for the defense of Daniels' heroic efforts, Matt Eberflus could have called a timeout to ensure everyone on defense was on the same page.

If Eberflus had called a timeout, perhaps that would have been enough time for Stevenson to realize the magnitude of the situation. Instead, Eberflus held onto the timeouts the Bears had remaining while Stevenson, instead of preparing for Daniels' pass, was too busy taunting Commanders fans.

The Chicago Bears coaching staff needs to hold Tyrique Stevenson accountable.

Adding insult to embarrassment for Stevenson is the fact that it was his tip that led to Noah Brown catching the batted ball with ease, giving the Commanders the victory.

Even before Stevenson's pathetic showing on the final play of the game, his performance, as a whole, against the Commanders is an indictment of the coaching staff. Earlier in the game, Stevenson drew a personal foul in a sign that his emotions were getting the best of him.

Stevenson needs to be held accountable. No, the Bears are not going to cut their second-year starting cornerback but a benching against the Arizona Cardinals next week shouldn't be off the table. Stevenson did not speak with reporters after the game.
